The internet is full of conflicting information. How can you know what to trust? WORLD Magazine’s Collin Garbarino and Juliana Chan Erikson join the show to help us wrestle with this pressing listener question.

We would love to hear from you. You can send us a message at newscoach@wng.org. What current events or cultural issues are you wrestling through with your kids and teens? Let us know. We want to work through it with you.

Further Resources:

• Read “Seek Wisdom in the Age of Algorithms” by Steve Bateman at The Gospel Coalition.
• Engage with Collin Garbarino’s analytical approach to the news:
• Level One: Who wrote it? When was this written? What type of document is it? What is the main story line?
• Level Two: Who is the intended audience? Why was it written? What can the reader safely assume based on this source?
• Level Three: Can I believe this document? How trustworthy is the source? What biases does it contain? What can I learn about the society or person who created this document? How does it relate to its context?

Concurrently is produced by God’s WORLD News. We provide current events materials for kids and teens that show how God is working in the world. To learn more about God’s WORLD News and browse sample magazines, visit gwnews.com.
